• With broad curriculum that balances both academic and production experiences, the MA program constitutes a period of study and practice en route to professional work, teaching or further advanced degrees.
  • The program includes a carefully planned combination of theory and practice; however, with attentive counseling, students determine a subspecialization in history, criticism or some aspect of performance, technology or design.
  • At Binghamton University, students practice theatre in excellent facilities and receive individual guidance in small classes and through close advising.
  • Qualified MA degree candidates may have the opportunity to teach a section of an undergraduate course, undertake assistantships in technical theatre or departmental administration, mount productions in the studio theaters, or act, direct, design or write as part of the department's theatre and dance season.
  • Concentrations are not required, although students in the program ultimately need to be able to produce a thesis in a particular area at the end of their course of study, and a concentration is often a helpful means to that end.
